Good Morning to you Bev! (and whoever may be up and around)

It's a fantastic day here in Africa, sunny and happy lol.

I hope everyone is having a really wonderful sunday and getting ready for a productive, positive week ahead xxx

Sorry to disagree but having grown up there since '68, I say that it almost HAS gone south overnight. Look at the history of I94 and the effects of the race riots. 94 had virtually no exits to the previously thriving neighborhoods after the race that had the Civil Guard protecting the suburbs. Especially the rich ones like Grosse Pointe and Bloomfield Hills. They set up sandbags with submachine guns on top to "keep the peace" in the suburbs. All very well documented.

As for mayors, to me, that is Coleman Young. He had a stranglehold on the city that was second to none. Kwame was a second joke that lasted only a few years. Coleman and his cronies lasted some 20 years!!!

Ok, enough of this blah. Let's get back to Priest. Especially how Detroit LOVES them!

I've been traveling to and from Detroit since '88.  There's been a lot of changes since then with the Pistons winning in the late 80's then moving to Auburn Hills, steel mills closing and we all are aware of the auto ind. problems and lets not forget the last mayor (ugh)!!  But in all fairness, there are a lot of folks that have never given up and have stayed and slowly it's trying really hard to make the necessary changes...but just as it didn't get that way over night, it's not gonna change over night either.  I really hope things change as it can be a beautiful city with wonderful arcitecture and landscapes.  Anyone who wants a taste of Detroits fashionable history can walk through the convention center and read the captions to all the many pics hanging on the walls and the statues and things preserved for viewing...

Sorry for the delay...had to eat.

Detroit has a REALLY sad neighborhood right by a rescue place that is basically where the homeless set up. Thousands, literally. I never showed it to DF but that is why it pissed the hell out of me when some uppity bastard thrashes the RedWings for having "empty seats" in "Hockeytown."  What a bunch of bull.  I LOVED Bongwater who said that he loved hockey but we just can't get it here. Right on! Someone with half a brain who understands the situation. Imagine living in the street or, at best, a TENT!

Look, to cut a long story short, look at the way they ran the freeways. NO exits to the suburbs but right out to where the big car-makers made their homes. Read the Autobiography of Malcolm X! Talks all about it the overt racism and what it did to the inner city.

It IS getting better, though. I love the city and will defend it to the death. It IS Hockeytown, USA even if people can't afford tickets. Ignorant dolt, anyone who could think otherwise. Never been here.

Actually, we did try to trick her workmates a few years ago. She was working at a bagel place while at uni, and me and Craig were visiting her. We came to the street where she worked and she said her workmates didn't know we were twins, so I wandered in to the store and was staring at the menu above the counter. The girl behind the counter was looking at me like WTF, you work here! LOL that was kinda funny.
